Losing You
How do you keep someone,
You’ve already lost?
The heartbreak and distance,
They’ll come at a cost.
5 months we had together,
No time at all.
But my love for you,
Is far from small.
I get the I love you’s,
But the I miss you’s mean more.
Reminding me once again,
What we’re doing this for.
A call every night,
And a few letters a week.
Miss the pointless words
We always used to speak.
It’s the ache and the pain
Of distance that gets me.
I feel like I’ve started
To mourn the us already.
How do you keep someone
You’ve already lost?
You suffer but fight,
And get through at all costs.
You may be gone,
But you’re always here.
The 8th of May
Will soon be near.
Just me and you,
‘til death do us part.
Your name is forever
Written on my heart.
